Acura 2012 RL - Manual (Page 184)

To remove the ignition switch cover,
insert the built-in key (see page
),
then pull the cover out by pulling the
built-in key while pushing it.
Also, if you close the door when the
ignition switch is not in the LOCK
(0) position and the remote is not
inside the vehicle, the keyless access
alarm sounds outside the vehicle, a
message appears on the multi-
information display, and the beeper
sounds if the ignition switch is in the
ON (II) position.
When the beeper sounds after you
close the driver’s door outside the
vehicle, check the position of the
ignition switch and the location of
the remote.
If the engine is running and you
remove the remote from the vehicle,
it will continue to run. But once
turned to the LOCK (0) position, the
engine will not restart until a remote
is brought back into the vehicle.
To turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK (0) position, put the
transmission in Park, press the
switch in, and turn it to the LOCK
(0) position. When the transmission
is not in Park, you cannot turn the
ignition switch to the LOCK (0)
position.
Before leaving the vehicle, make
sure the ignition switch is in the
LOCK (0) position.
If you open the driver’s door with the
ignition switch in the ACCESSORY
(I) position, a beeper will sound.
You will also see a ‘‘RETURN
IGNITION SWITCH TO LOCK (0)
POSITION’’ message on the multi-
information display.
